Luton Town has signed Reuell Walters after he turned down Arsenal’s contract offer to leave as a free agent. The 19-year-old was a highly-rated prospect in the Arsenal system, and the Gunners made it clear that he was part of their plans. However, they were unable to convince him to stay, as he had not been assured a place in their first team. After considering their offer, the right-back decided to change clubs and has now been snapped up by Luton Town. The Hatters, who have just been relegated from the Premier League, are eager to return to the English top flight as soon as possible.
Despite Mikel Arteta’s reputation for providing one of the best roads into first-team football for young players, Arsenal were unable to persuade Walters to stay. According to Arsenal Youth, he will now compete with others for starting positions at Luton next season.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is difficult to keep players happy without providing them with a road to instant first-team involvement, and we understand why Walters is leaving the club.
We must find a method to keep our best young people in our system, since they may be able to assist us save money.
